Summery Rickey bouquet

Back again with the 3rd sketch that I call my Lime Rickey bouquet. (Julee, I turned the sketch on the side to accommodate the floral image, hope that is OK)

I really adore all of the great stamps out there that we can colour in with markers. I stamped this Lockhart image with basic gray from SU' and coloured with a few Copics. I added some crystal effects onto the water (just for my friend Yvonne) for a little more dimension. The panel was cut from a Spellbinders label4 and layered onto another larger L4 that I cut out of a coffee sleeve from Panera and pierced the edges. I like the organic feel that I think it lends to this bouquet along with the vintagey wood button from Papertrey Ink. I added a flower punch-out from an acrylic package and placed that on top of the same shape that I punched out from the dp I used for this card, BG Lime Rickey. The button treatment is placed on top of a Heidi Swapp ghost flower and the 2 Lime Rickey center panels are edged with a white border punched from EK. Thanks again for another great sketch Julee!

About Me

I am a Canadian gal transplanted from Montreal to Austin, Texas, my home since June 1998. I have a wonderful loving husband who puts up with my passions. I have been gardening almost all of my life and stamping for 10+ years. At night, you can find me knitting almost every night of the year in front of a tv show. We have 2 older children, a daughter 28 yrs. old and a son 23 yrs. old. Our pets are an Australian shepherd mini (Rileigh), a conure (Cappy) and we are taking care of DD's cat, Pearl, as her apartment allows only one pet and she has the Boston Terrier, Elmo .
